I have a 2007 Saturn Ion and recently I've noticed that it's taking longer for the car to start. It always ends up starting but after the car sits especially overnight it takes a longer to start. Also I've noticed that there seems to be the smell of gas lingering around the car. It doesn't seem to be leaking gas but you can smell it after the car has been running.
Car not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities. It can be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then it can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition coil or injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned. To confirm the problem, the basic troubleshooting is required.

The gas smell is from all the gas into the clylinders when it dont start,,,normal,,,,,,the no start issue is from the electrical ignition switch goes bad when it gets cold out and doesnt let the car start,,you need a new ignition switch like $40 and reprogram it to the car,i would take it to the dealer,asap because right now you are lucky that it does eventually start,one day it will not start at all so get this fixed before you get stuck
